Windjammer Days 2013

Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - 12:02 pm

The 51st edition of Windjammer Days on June 25 and 26 brought good crowds, lots of entertainment and 10 of the 11 windjammers scheduled to arrive. The rain held off until just before the street parade began Wednesday afternoon, but the event still went on. Thunder and lightning came through early Tuesday night, which put a damper on one Waterfront Park concert, and the fireworks display on Wednesday night was postponed until July 4 due to rain and fog; but overall, the 2013 festival was enjoyable.

DOC PULLS “WORMS” FROM THE TEETH of Bloodthirsty Barbara after administering grog anesthetic and a conk on the noggin with an empty tankard. Doc explains that pirates actually thought toothaches came from worms, and though some pirate dentists claimed to have pulled a few from teeth, it is suspected they had actually grabbed hold of a nerve.
